<p>Hey, guys. It's my first post so bear with me.</p>
<p>I'm wondering what my chances are for transfering to Vandy. The reason why I would like to transfer is because I think Vandy more closely approximates my interests and is a "better fit." </p>
<p>I'm currently a Freshman at WashU, and right now I'm taking 15 credit hours. At the end of the semester I'll probably have something close to a 3.3, which will hopefully pick up to about a 3.5 by the end of freshman year.</p>
<p>In high school, I had an unweighted 4.0, 2160SAT, 32ACT, 6 APs, etc.</p>
<p>I'm curious about a few things couple of things: (1) How strong of an applicant am I? (2) What is the transfer process like? i.e. Does Vandy place more emphasis on college work or high school work? Could my not-so-great college grades significantly hurt my chances in transfering?</p>
<p>Coming from a strong school like WashU, you should be fine with the grades that you are getting now. I wouldn't be too worried about it...I think you have a great shot.</p>
<p>Taw, a 3.5 isn't exactly great. It also depends largely on the type of classes you took and their relative difficulty. If you are doing a stereotypically difficult course load, such as biomedical engineering, then a 3.5 should be okay or shouldn't hurt you too much. Vandy will most likely place a very heavy emphasis on your college work vs. high school because all of the tests in HS were designed to help predict how you would handle college-level work. Now that they can actually see how you are handling school at the university level, the test scores shouldn't really be of much importance or much of a factor.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don't know how you'll do, but I hope you find what you're looking for and that Vandy has it. Good Luck!</p>
<p>right now, I'm taking a freshman seminar in economics, a freshman seminar in political theory, an intro macroeconomics course, writing, and calculus 1.</p>
<p>it's easier to get into about every school by transfer vs when you're in high school...and yes that includes just about all of the top schools you can think of.</p>
